More about Eager Beaver Moving

Since its foundation in 1984, Eager Beaver Moving has been about relationships. After nearly 25 years in the moving and freight business, the company’s founder, Jack Watson saw an opportunity to build a local moving company whose values included quality and pride in ones work above all else. Jack’s experience with large companies like Gimli Transfer, Beaver Storage and Eaton’s helped shape the vision of his future enterprise, where he knew that a personal commitment and a handshake meant more to people than what big corporations could offer. His dream became reality when Eaton’s began selling some of its older fleet. Jack jumped at the chance to break out on his own and called on his friend, the head of Eaton’s asset management, to secure several of the now iconic Ford cab-over trucks to begin his venture.
***
With little more than an ad in the local Yellow Pages and a fiery personality, Jack built his company to a fleet of 6 trucks at its peak, operating as both Eager Beaver Express Moving, and the senior’s friendly Jack Watson the Mover.
***
The seeds of the second generation of Eager Beaver Moving began to sprout long before the first had even grown. Watching his dad manage the transportation department at Beaver Storage in the early 1960’s, it was no surprise when Bill got an early start in the moving business as well. At the tender age of 15, Bill’s first job was building the old wooden freight boxes in the warehouse, but it wasn’t long before he too embraced his entrepreneurial spirit, bought his first truck and hit the road, eventually embarking on dozens of coast-to-coast trips per year.
***
It is not easy to distinguish one’s company from the many movers that crowd the phone books, so naturally when a customer does come calling, Eager Beaver makes it their mission to ensure that the customer wants to tell their family and friends what a great experience they had with us.

Packing and Moving

Moving & Storage review in St. Albert

04/01/2018

A packer was sent to pack up my things. She did a wonderful job! Efficient and careful! Nothing was broken and everything was packed and labelled according to which room it belonged in. The next day, 3 movers came, loaded up my boxes and things and dropped them off at my new place. They were all incredibly polite, kind, patient with me, and moved so quickly! I was impressed. Start to finish, 3.5 hours! They were on time, worked the entire time and worked hard, on Good Friday, in the cold and snow. Worth every penny!

Short Haul Moving

Moving & Storage review in Edmonton

I have moved a lot in my days, and the service Eager Beaver Moving provided from time of estimate to receipt of invoice was one of my best moving experiences
The two young men who moved me were fantastic.
They were extremely professional, very punctual and efficient.
I will be recommending Eager Beaver Moving to anyone who needs to have moving services.

House move

12/12/2017

The crew who moved us were professional and friendly. There was not one inch of space left when they pulled of our driveway.

They wrapped everything in blankets and placed all our furniture exactly where we wanted it in the new house. Moved some very heavy, awkward stuff effortlessly.

I highly recommend these guys.

Move a piano

Piano Moving & Tuning review in Edmonton

12/11/2017

The owner, John, was super friendly and professional. He returned my initial inquiry The very next business day. And then continued to return my calls and texts in a timely manner. The delivery guys were quick, friendly, and were in and out within 10 minutes of delivering my piano. Definitely would recommend these guys. And I would definitely use them again!

Approximate cost of services:: $388.00

Company Response: Hi Phil.
Thank you for writing us review, and I'm glad you had such a good experience. We do try to keep communication top of mind when it comes to dealing with clients as I know it can be frustrating when that is lacking. Enjoy your new piano!
Sincerely,
John

Moving & Storage review in Spruce Grove

12/06/2017

Tom, Trevor, and Nick were friendly, professional, and made fast work of our move. I also appreciated that they called to let me know when they were stuck in traffic and would be a little late. They were in and out in 3.5 hours which is so much faster than we would have been able to do it on our own. Worth It's weight in gold!

Nove from downtown aparment to house in North Edmonton

09/15/2017

We moved back at the end of July, and Eager Beaver were amazing. Kaleb, Jordan, and Dan went above and beyond (way above) and still came in just slightly above the original quote.

Keeping in mind we didn't quite have everything packed when they arrived, and they helped with moving and assembly of stuff outside of the direct move, I was super impressed at the cost, and the quality of their work.

I couldn't recommend them higher!

Approximate cost of services:: $1,200.00

Company Response: Hi Andrew.
Thank you for the positive review, I am glad you enjoyed our service. Hopefully we can help you out again down the road.

First Review

Best Movers in Edmonton

We had a great experience working with Eager Beaver. We hired them to pack as well, and they were super professional and careful with all of our stuff. They were very flexible with our schedule, and the cost was far less than other quotes we received. They're a family run local Edmonton business and they really care about their customers.

Approximate cost of services:: $2,000.00

Company Response: Hi Darren. Thank you so much for the great review. It was a pleasure working with you and your family, and I really hope you enjoy your new home. Warm regards,
John
